Re: Day 11-BODY FAT QUESTION

[Guest guest]

Hey Walli,

If that is the scale that you have to stand on with your bare feet be

weary. Not trying to knock your purchase, just that I feel that you won't get

the GREAT credit you actually deserve. from our group and I tryed one

of those once and it actually was way over for her!!!!!!!! She was lean, very

lean and it added like 8-10% body fat. It was off on me too but it seemed to

me more wrong for women! Hmmmmmm, I just want you to get the credit you

deserve buddy. I think it will be a great item to track your loses, because

it calculates the same way each time. However, when you go to get your final

results. Get em done by a trainer, I think you will be so excited to see that

you have actually done even better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best of luck to you!!!!!!!!

Sarge, have to agree with you. In one Challenge where both my husband and myself lost 20 pounds of bodyfat, his bf reading went down accordingly and mine stayed the same! His always seemed right and mine was always off.

Leaner. (Creed rules! With Arms Wide Open - oh yeah!)

Hi Walli,

I too have a tanita scale and is right, it is off. I measured myself

on it one morning then went and got a 9 site caliper test done and it was 7%

off (Tanita was high). But I don't care. It still lets me record the

downward trend and as long as I see that number going down, then that is

all that matters.

Btw... make sure you measure yourself the same time and under the same

conditions every day (i.e., upon first getting up). Depending on what you

did the day/night before, exercising and so on, the numbers can be

different!

Yes, isn't it wonderful how you feel when you change your lifestyle to this

one! I love it!

>Haven't heard of the Fortex-5000 but we did buy a scale yesterday that

claims to give you body fat, as well as weight. I came up with 34% and my

hubby at 17%. It's a neat gadget that claims to send small electric pulses

through fat/muscle to determine their numbers. All I know is that this is

week four and we are feeling great. Haven't missed a workout, stick to the

diet and we're feeling

I have a set of scales that is suppose to measure body fat. I just

knew it couldn't be accurate (actually, I was HOPING), but as it

turns out, it was within 1.3% of what one of the trainer got when he

measured my body fat % with calipers. The scales are by TANITA and

are called " The Ultimate Scale. " Not an advertisement, just

information.

By the way, I'm on day 17 of BFL and thoroughly enjoying it. I

feel so much better, and have already lost 9 pounds. There is a

group of us at work doing various diets or programs, and each giving

$1 per week, with the money at the end of the 12 weeks going to the

person closest to the goal that they set for themselves at the

beginning of the contest and I'm going to win! Only one of the other

people in the group is doing BFL, and she's not sticking to it very

well even though the rest of us try to keep her on track. I just got

by 3 videos in today (Body of Work, Body for LIFE Success Stories 1

and 2) and I'm going to let the group of us who eat lunch together

watch one of them tomorrow. Maybe that will motivate her.

> Hey Guys,

> Starting day 11 here. I just wanted to tell you all that I'm

happy to see how many posts we are getting! I hope we have alot of

group members show up at the " Orlando Bash " here Feb 9th-11th!!!

> Listen, I have a question, has anyone heard of a body fat

composition test called FORTEX-5000. I know this thing has to be

wrong. They feed a bunch of info about you into a computer, then put

this laser on your body for fat analysis. I know this thing is wrong

because it gave me a reading of 11.4% body fat. I know that is way

off after having my body fat tested alot before 6 challenges.
